There is a type of footwear that returned several seasons ago to stay, and it is none other than ballet flats. Although many reject this kind of classic flat shoe, the versatility of its design and the number of models available have caused few to resist it. It is the ideal proposition to look elegant without having to resort to heels, and it is as simple as finding an option that suits your taste and style.

One of the women who knows how to wear ballet flats best is Tamara Falcó. The socialite boasts a classic and traditional style in which trendy garments and accessories have a place. And yes, in addition to sneakers, boots, or loafers, ballet flats are more than present in her wardrobe. And the latest model she wore can serve as inspiration if you seek maximum comfort.

The daughter of Isabel Preysler posted a few days ago on her Instagram profile some images in which she appears wearing a look completed with ballet flats that became the absolute stars of the post. “Starting the year at home, with my loved ones,” she wrote alongside photographs in which she appeared with her dogs.

Tamara Falcó has the most comfortable two-tone flats

Tamara wore a Sézane knit two-piece set in a light beige color. An ensemble that Kate Middleton also wears and that is composed of a crew-neck sweater with buttons on the sleeves and a straight-cut midi skirt. However, it was the shoes that stole all the attention.

It was, specifically, a pair of flats from Vivaia, an American brand that was born from a central problem many women face: the comfort of footwear. Tamara chose the Margot 2.0 model (€138), a pair of flats with the brand’s iconic design, characterized by a squared toe and a V-cut, which shapes the foot and lends a modern and minimalist air.

She opted for the ivory color option with the black toe, in the pure Chanel style. A versatile model that fits both special-occasion looks and urban outfits, and that perfectly reflects the new way of understanding elegance: without renouncing comfort or sustainability.

Available in countless colors and prints, these ballet flats stand out for their flexible fabric that the rest of the brand’s footwear also uses. A choice that, as Tamara has shown, confirms that comfort is not at odds with design.

The shoe brand sweeping celebrities

And the Marchioness of Griñón has not been the only style influencer to fall for Vivaia’s technology and design. There is a list of international celebrities who have already been won over by this sustainable footwear brand that has become a favorite of some of the world’s leading fashion influencers.

It is the case of Alexa Chung, model Bella Hadid, or even Julia Roberts. The actress was photographed in Venice at the end of August 2025 with a Vivaia model. She opted for a hybrid between sneaker and ballet flat in black that could not suit her better.

The key to Vivaia’s success lies in its ability to unite timeless design, innovation, and environmental commitment. Its shoes are made from recycled materials and responsible processes, responding to the growing demand for a more conscious fashion aligned with current values.
